Denver-based BOE Midstream successfully loaded and shipped the 1,000th unit train from its Bakken Oil Express Rail Terminal in Dickinson, N.D., the company announced Nov. 3. The figure represents about 70 million barrels (bbl) of crude oil shipped by rail from the 3-year-old facility. BOE also owns LL Terminals LLC, BOE South and BOE Pipeline LLC.
When operations began on Nov. 3, 2011, Bakken Oil Express Rail Terminal was only the second facility in the region. It is now the largest of 11 unit train facilities serving the area by most measures.
The terminal has a loading capability of up to three unit trains per day, with the ability to simultaneously load two unit trains and stage multiple trains on site for maximum efficiency. It offers 642,000 bbl of crude oil operational storage capacity, which will increase to about 892,000 bbl with a new storage tank projected to be online by mid-2015. The terminal is located along the BNSF Southern Main Line, giving shippers access to end-user markets on the East, West and Gulf Coasts of the U.S.
